The Minnesota Wild and Edmonton Oilers are two franchises that faced similar challenges this offseason. Both have generational talents entering the final years of their contracts with the Oilers having Connor McDavid and the Wild having Kirill Kaprizov.
While the Oilers are still waiting on securing their future with McDavid, the Minnesota Wild have not only accomplished that but made sure key pieces around him will stay with the team as well.
